OPERATION<br />
Hauling Cargo<br />
WARNING<br />
Hauling cargo improperly can alter vehicle handling and may cause loss of<br />
control or brake instability, which can result in serious injury or death. Always<br />
follow these precautions when hauling cargo:<br />
Never exceed the maximum weight capacity of the vehicle. When determining<br />
the weight you are adding to the vehicle, include the weight of the operator,<br />
passenger, accessories, loads in the rack or box and the load on the trailer<br />
tongue. The combined weight of these items must not exceed the maximum<br />
weight capacity.<br />
REDUCE SPEED AND ALLOW GREATER DISTANCES FOR BRAKING<br />
WHEN HAULING CARGO.<br />
Always load the cargo box with the load as far forward and as low as possible.<br />
When operating over rough or hilly terrain, reduce speed and cargo to maintain<br />
stable driving conditions.<br />
Always operate the vehicle with extreme care when hauling or towing loads.<br />
Slow down and drive in the lowest gear available.<br />
SECURE ALL LOADS BEFORE OPERATING. Unsecured loads can create<br />
unstable operating conditions, which could result in loss of control of the vehicle.<br />
OPERATE ONLY WITH STABLE AND SAFELY ARRANGED LOADS. When<br />
handling off-centered loads that cannot be centered, securely fasten the load<br />
and operate with extra caution. Always attach the tow load to the hitch point<br />
designated for your vehicle.<br />
HEAVY LOADS CAN CAUSE BRAKING AND CONTROL PROBLEMS. Use<br />
extreme caution when applying brakes with a loaded vehicle. Avoid terrain or<br />
situations that may require backing downhill.<br />
USE EXTREME CAUTION when operating with loads that extend over the rack<br />
sides. Stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing the<br />
vehicle to overturn.<br />
DO NOT TRAVEL FASTER THAN THE RECOMMENDED SPEEDS. Vehicle<br />
should never exceed 10 mph (16 kph) while towing a load on a level grass<br />
surface. Vehicle speed should never exceed 5 mph (8 kph) when towing loads in<br />
rough terrain, while cornering, or while ascending or descending a hill.<br />
